327 South 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
327 South 5th Street is a 3-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and was built in 1910. The building experienced a significant event in 2019 when it sustained extensive damage from a fire, resulting in charred wood joists, an open roof, open walls, and smoke and water damage throughout. This incident led to multiple violations and enforcement actions, including issues with fire escape maintenance and obstructed passageways, though these violations were eventually resolved.
The property has maintained regular filing of bedbug reports in recent years, with the latest filing in July 2025 showing no current infestations. The building passed rodent inspections in December 2018, demonstrating compliance with basic hygiene standards. In recent years, the building has had several housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, though these were marked as closed.
The Department of Buildings has recorded multiple construction safety and compliance complaints between 2019 and 2022, including a 2020 complaint that resulted in an Oath violation being served. Several environmental control board violations were issued between 2019 and 2020 regarding failure to comply with commissioner's orders and maintenance issues, with most resulting in resolved status with no penalties. The building's permit history shows multiple construction permits issued between 2020 and 2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and repair work following the 2019 fire incident. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past two reporting periods (2024-2025 and 2023-2024), indicating successful management of this recurring issue in previous years.
